Im not sure you can do it, however have you investigated the : <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=someFile.xls"> <cfcontent type="application/vnd.ms-excel" file="c:\temp\someFile.xls">
This example triggers a download of an Excel file. The user will be prompted with an option to save the file or open it in the browser. Once opened they can either save or close on the action of either teh file is then removed from the host, you could maybe add a link to your email so that they can retrieve the excel file not the best solution i know.
